According to an email sent to fansite SimplyPaz.com, Zwan bassist Paz Lenchantin has left the band to work with fellow Zwan member David Pajo on his Papa M project.

The band are currently recording under the name Djali Zwan having cancelled their European tour, and it's not clear whether or not Pajo is still working with them.

Paz joined Zwan from A Perfect Circle, and was recently replaced by Twiggy Ramirez from Marilyn Manson. In her email to the webmaster of Simply Paz, she wrote...

"I want to let you know that I am no longer with Zwan. My experience with Zwan has been great but it is time for me to move on to new projects. This fall, I will be dedicating my time with David Pajo as Papa M. I am currently rehearsing for our up coming shows in October. We also hope to start recording shortly after that."

In related news, Billy's former Pumpkins bandmate, James Iha, has also joined A Perfect Circle, replacing Troy Van Leeuwen, who is now a full-time member of Queens Of The Stone Age. The second APC album is due later this year, preceded by the single 'Weak And Powerless'.
